• Research needed: super sets and plyometric workouts

Assessments: Wednesday October 2nd at 12:10- 12:50 in the Zone

Group Members: Jade & Melissa

This assessment will be performed in the following order:

Warm up:

• 1 walking lap of the 200m track
• 2 jogging laps building the clients intensity every 100m for a total of 200m
• 50m of walking lunges, 20m of high knees, 20m of kick backs and 10m walking

1. Body Composition Measurements such as

• Height = 6ft

• Weight = 157lbs

• Calculation of BMI (BMI= weight (in lbs)/ (Height x Height)(in inches) x 703) = 21.29 (normal)

• Bicep circumference = 29cm

• Chest Circumference = 84cm

• Waist Circumference = 86cm

• Hip Circumference = 103cm

• Waist to Hip Ratio = 0.835 (high, however the client does not show any noticeable high risk factors in her body type. We believe this is a limitation of the assessment.)

2. Vital Signs

• Resting Heart Rate = 75bmp (Average)

3. Cardiovascular Assessment

• 12 Minute Run = 2150m

VO2 Conversion= 46.32 (90th percentile) (0.0268x distance (in meters)- 11.3)

4. Strength Assessment

• Flexed Arm Hang = 1st trial 13.4 sec, 2nd trial 2.3sec (This test was used because the client specifically stated in the consultation that their personal goal was to be able to perform 1 Pull-up. No normative data is found, however this test will be used for comparison purposes)

• 1 Minute Sit up Test= 27 sit-ups (good)

5. Balance Assessment

• Star Balance Test

Left Leg Anterior = 81.5cm Anteromedial = 84cm Medial = 87 cm Posteromedial = 95cm Posterior = 97cm Posterolateral = 89cm Lateral = 76.5cm Anterolateral = 73cm

Right Leg Anterior = 75cm Anteromedial = 83.5cm Medial = 82.5 cm Posteromedial = 78cm Posterior = 77cm Posterolateral = 75.5cm Lateral = 61cm Anterolateral = 69.5cm

There was significant differences found between the right and left leg. This could be due to a range of motion issue in the left hip. Further assessment to the hip using a goniometry to measure joint range of motion in the hip such as: flexion, extension, abduction, adduction, medial and lateral rotation.

6. Strength Assessment

• Wall Sit Test = 39.8 second (good)

7. Flexibility Assessment

• Sit and Reach Test = 12.2 inches(31cm) 10th percentile

This could be due to a limitation in the assessment. The client has long lower limbs and shorter arms therefore the test would not take that in to account.

Cool Down

• 2 lapping walks of the track
• Pectoral wall stretch (2x for 30seconds)
• Hamstring Stretch on ground (2 x for 30 seconds)
• Cobra stretch (30 second hold)

Notes:

• The warm up was condensed to 2 jogging laps around the track. Followed by 10-20m of: walking lunges, high knees, and kick-backs for each.
• Resting heart rate was not taken prior to the 12 minute run. During the first training session resting heart rate will need to be taken prior to the execution of physical activity
• Due to a time constraint within the assessment session the flexibility assessment was not achieved. During the first training session, the sit and reach test will be performed prior to exercising.
• Cool down was shortened to 1 walking lap of the 200m track with arm stretches as the client walked.

Smart Goals

1.To increase upper body strength. This will be completed by utilizing exercises such as lat pull down, assisted pull ups, shoulder press, triceps extension and bicep curl in order to complete our clients goal of one unassisted pull up.

2.To increase lower body strength by incorporating weighted lunges, straight dead lifts and weighted squats/squats with push press. By using these exercises muscle strength and endurance will be increased in turn increasing their wall sit score from an average to good rating (40-60 seconds)

3.Increase core strength by doing exercises such as lower static hold, plank, plank walk out, ankle touches and leg raises. These exercises will help to improve her sit up score from good to excellent.

4.Increase balance by doing activities such toe touches, bosu ball stands, medicine ball catches and similar exercises which will lead to an improved score in the star balance test. We also want to work on equalizing stabilization between both legs. This can be accomplished by working on stabilization of the right leg and range of motion in the left leg.

5. To maintain cardiovascular fitness level. This will be completed by doing cardiovascular fitness activities in our warm up such as running, cycling as well as completing high intensity plyometric workouts to work aerobic capacity while developing muscular endurance.

6. To increase flexibility by incorporating a regular stretching routine into the warm up and cool down portions of the training sessions.

Exercises

Dynamic Stretches

• High Knees/ Knees to Chest: Each step bring your knee as close to your chest as possible and alternate between legs.

• Cobra: Lying on your stomach, keeping thighs on the ground. Lift your torso up with your arms and curve your back as much as possible. This will stretch your abdominals.

• Lat Stretch: Standing a few feet away from the wall, extend your arms above your head (shoulder width apart), placing hands on the wall. While keeping your hands on the wall, flex you head, leaning towards the wall.

• Pectoral Stretch: Standing parallel to a wall, place your should against the wall and extend your arm behind you so it's in line with your shoulder. You then want to rotate your body away from the wall without taking your shoulder off of the wall.

• Quadriceps: Standing on one foot, hold your ankle of the opposite leg behind your butt, pull your ankle up and towards your butt while keeping your knees in the same position.

• Rhomboid: Wrap both your arms around yourself like you are giving yourself a hug and pull outwards on either shoulder blade.

Upper Body Exercises

• Lat Pull Down: Start with grip just slightly farther than shoulder width. Pull the bar down by squeezing your shoulder blades together and ending with your elbows at your side.

Keep back straight with shoulders retracted. The objective is to pull hands and elbows towards your back by retracting your scapula. Must keep back, legs and trunk in a stationary position.

Lower Body Exercises

• Weighted Lunges: Refer to lunges. This is the same thing just adding weights.

• Weighted Squats: Holding a dumbbell at chest level and slowly lowering your body weight so your knees are bent at a 100 degree angle, then return to a straight position.

• Fire Hydrants: On all fours, raise leg to roughly 90 degree to the side of the body. Then return to all fours and repeat.

• Hip Abduction & Adduction: This is performed on a machine where you are sitting down and either forcefully pushing your thighs outwards, or squeezing your thighs inwards. Abduction would opening your legs against resistance and adduction would be closing your legs against resistance.

• Calf Raises: This is performed on a machine where you are going from flat foot to being on your toes and back down. Weight can be added so when you push to get on your toes, there is resistance being added to make it more difficult.

• Straight Leg Deadlifts: Bent at the legs and lift the barbell off the floor. Do not lift with back, use your legs for force production. Lift barbell to waist in standing position, then return barbell to floor.

• Hamstring Curl: While lying prone, hold dumbbell between the feet and flex at the knees to 90 degrees. Lower weight back to the ground and repeat.

• Dogma Leg Raise: On all fours, flex hamstrings and gluteus muscles to raise the sole of your foot towards the ceiling.

• Step Ups Using Exercise Box: While holding dumbbells in each hand, simply step up onto the box as if you were climbing stairs. Keep back straight and head forward. Can be performed by alternating legs or the same leg repeated.

• Sumo Squats: This is a modified squat with legs at a wider distance apart and toes externally rotated. Begin in a standing upright position and proceed with flexion of the knees and lowering to beyond 90 degrees. The trunk remains in an upright position without lumbar flexion. The weight is held with arms fully extended between the legs.

Core Exercises

• Lower Static Hold: Lying on back, raise feet roughly 6-8 inches off the floor and hold.

• Ankle Touches: While lying with knees bents passed 90 degrees, simply reach on the lateral sides of the body to try and touch ankle.

Training Session 1: Thursday October 3rd 2013 at 4:30pm- 6pm in the Zone

Group Members: Katie & Jade

Pre Work- Out Notes:

• All static stretching should be performed to the point of tension, and the stretch should be held until the tensions subsides, at which point the client will release stretch and repeat if need be.
• As this is our first in gym session with our client the program for today was to instruct the client through a variety of exercises that will be used over the course of the program. Using light weight and lower number of repetitions the client will work through the exercises with emphasis on form. The program is also restricted to a strict weights and core regimen as opposed to the circuit/ interval style the client prefers. Upcoming training sessions will be tailored to her preference of circuit training with the implementation of these weight resisted exercises.
• Weight and Repetitions: For the first session the trainers will judge what weight our client is comfortable with, and how many repetitions of that exercises at that weight our client can perform.

Take resting heart rate before beginning of the session. (75bpm)

Warm Up:

• 5 Laps running around the track

Dynamic Stretching

• Knee to Chest Walk
• Walking lunges
• Arm Swings
• Dynamic Shoulder Swing with Static Hold

Notes: No modifications were made to the warm-up.

Sit and Reach Re-Test- Results found above in the assessment

Goniometry Assessment of Hip

• Flexion- Left (0-91 degrees), Right (0-91 degrees)
• Extension - Left (91-0 degrees), Right (91-0 degrees)
• Abduction - Left (0-16 degrees), Right (0-15 degrees)
• Adduction - Left (0-15 degrees), Right (0-25 degrees)

The Client mentioned that in the past she had experienced hip pain from the positioning they held their first child while pregnant with their second. The client mentioned that occasionally when they ran their hip became sore, although this pain has not occurred in the past few months. Based on the goniometry assessment the range of motion is equal between their left and right hip for flexion, extension and abduction, however the left hip has a significant smaller range of motion during adduction.

Workout

Lat Pull-Down

• 2 sets x 12 reps
• Weight: 50lbs

Notes: The client completed 2 sets of 12 reps with a weight of 50lbs. Proper technique was maintained throughout the duration of the activity. The client had roughly 1 minute rest between sets.

Straight Dead Lift

• 1 set x 12 reps
• Expected Weight: 55lbs.

Notes: The client completed 1 set of 12 reps with a weight of 55lbs. The client lost form after 8 repetitions with their knees bending utilizing their quadriceps as their hamstrings became tired. The client had first tried a lower weight of 30lbs and mentioned it felt to light, however when increasing the load they were unable to maintain proper technique.

Weighted Lunges

• 2 sets x 12 reps
• Expected Weight: 15 lbs. per hand

Notes: The client performed 2 sets of 12 reps with a weight of 15 lbs in each hand. This exercise was done by walking 6 steps and then turning around and walking back. The clients back leg often became greater than 90degrees and their right foot became unstable causing an inward rotation.

Shoulder Press

• 1 x 12 reps, 1 x 8reps
• Expected Weight: 15 lbs. per hand

Notes: The client performed 1 set of 12 reps and 1 set of 8 reps both with 15lbs in each hand. The decrease in reps was due to no lower weights available however the client was showing weakness in their left shoulder and was unable to complete 12 reps.

Triceps Extension

• 2 sets x 12 reps
• Expected Weight: 8 lbs.

Notes: The client performed 2 sets of 12 reps with 8lbs in each hand. The client was familiar with this exercise and great technique was observed. An increase in weight would be recommended for this exercise.

Weighted Squat

• 2 sets x 12 reps
• Expected Weight: 40 lbs.

Notes: The client used the 40lb Ez Curl bar completing 2 sets of 12 reps. The client was unable to keep her core engaged causing her to flex her trunk while performing the last few reps of each set.

Core:

• Lower static hold
  • 30 seconds x 2
• Ankle Touches
  • 20 rep’s per leg x 2
• Plank on Forearm
  • 30 seconds x 2

• Plank Walk Out’s
  • 5 x 3 step walk outs
• Leg Raises
  • 15 reps

Notes: The core was completed in a with the first 3 exercise. Plank Walk outs were done 3x 5walk outs with a 3 second pause when in the plank position. Leg raises she completed 15 reps for 1 set. Plank for 30 seconds was not challenging enough for the client. The second set of planks we increased the hold for 45 seconds. The client found the lower static hold as well as the leg raises very challenging.

Cool Down:

• 2 jogging laps, 1 walking lap

Static Stretching:

• Hip flexor stretch
• Hamstring stretch
• Triceps stretch
• Cobra Stretch
• Lat Stretch (both arms of the wall head looking down)

Notes: No jogging laps or walking laps were performed. We held each of the stretches listed above for 30seconds. The client enjoyed the hip flexor and Lat Stretch mentioning that both of those muscle were particular sore.

Training Session 2: Monday, October 7th 2013 at 12:00- 12:50 p.m. in The Zone

Group Member(s): Jade

Pre Work-out Notes:

• All static stretching should be performed to the point of tension, and the stretch should be held until the tensions subsides, at which point the client will release stretch and repeat if need be.
• During this training session the muscle groups: bicep brachii, pectorallis minor and major, quadriceps, hip abductors and core will be targeted using a muscular endurance based program.
• The client will have relatively short rest such as 30seconds between exercises while working dissimilar muscle groups in a circuit based training program. Between rounds of the circuit the client will have 3 minutes rest.
• All equipment such as: free weights (expected: 2 15lbs,1 30lb),and mats will be used upstairs by the track to create easy transition time between exercises.

Warm up:

• 3 jogging/running laps of the 200m track
• 2 x 100meter build to a sprint with 30 seconds rest in between
• dynamic stretching (kick backs, high knees, cross-overs)

Circuit:

1.Single arm bicep curl

• 12 reps with 10lbs in each hand (Increase is needed for next session)

30 seconds rest

2.Sit ups with arms at side

• 20 reps

30seconds rest

3.Fire hydrants

• 15 reps each leg (limited range of motion in clients left side)

30 seconds rest

4.Single leg lift switches/ Flutter Kicks on Elbow for 20seconds

• For the first set initial plan was to do single leg lift with switches every 3 seconds however the client had pain in her left hip after 10 reps. The client mentioned their hip hurt when the hip was flexed with straight legs. For the next round of the circuit the exercise was switched to low level flutter kicks for a 20second duration. This exercise was challenging for the client however did not cause them pain.

30seconds rest

5.Free weight bench press

• 12 reps with 15 lbs each hand (increase recommended for the next session)

30seconds rest

6.Supermans

• 20 reps

30seconds rest

7.Squats with weights

• 12 reps

For the first set the client had 15lbs in each hand resting at her side. The client was unable to keep form (flexing her trunk) after 8 reps so the exercise was stopped. For the second set the client was given 10lbs and asked to hold it in front of her chest so they became more conscious of their leaning forward as they performed the exercise. The client was also given a mat to place under her heals to remain stable while doing the exercise. This helped the client keep proper form for the entirety of the 12 repetitions.

30seconds rest

8.Plank

• 45 second hold

The client required reminders to raise her hip.

3minutes rest with 1 walking. Repeated the circuit twice.

Bosu Ball balance

• 45seconds on the ball with:
  • 15 seconds standing with arms at her side
  • 10 seconds with both arms raised to the left side
  • 10 seconds with both arms raised to the right side
  • 5 seconds with both arms extended in from of the chest
  • 5 seconds with both arms extended behind the back

The client required help getting on and off the bosu ball. The client found the arms at the left side and behind them difficult to complete.

Cool down:

• 1 walking lap of the track
• Static stretching
  • Quadriceps stretch
  • Single arm pectoral stretch (performed on the wall)
  • Cobra Stretch

Training Session 3: Tuesday October 8, 2013 from 12:10- 12:50 in the Zone & Track

Pre-Workout Notes:

• For this exercise session we will be doing a Reverse Pyramid scheme 3 sets (1st set is 6-8 reps) (second set is 8-10) (third set is 10-15) rest times will be for 1-1.5 mins.
• This workout was organized to counter the muscle groups used in our previous work out. The main muscles used were: Latissimus Dorsi, Hip Abductors, Triceps Brachii, Trapezius and Rhomboids, Gastrocnemius and Soleus, and the Abdominals.
• We were only able to complete 2 sets of some exercises due to time constraints which also resulted in short rest at times.

• Dynamic stretching (butt kicks, lunging twists, arm swings, high knees, and side bends)

Circuit:

1. Lat Pull Downs

• Set 1: 8 repetitions at 70lbs

Last Meeting: Monday Dec 6th, 2013 at 12:30 in her office

Group Members: Nick, Sam & Melissa

• Gave Ethna a 4 week training program as well as a chart of each of the exercises that she used with pictures, descriptions, and refinement cues.
• Discussed her progression as well as post assessment results
• Future considerations
• Refer to sub-heading "Final Meeting Supplies" for detailed instructions given to our client [1]

Goals Achieved

1.To increase upper body strength. This will be completed by utilizing exercises such as lat pull down, assisted pull ups, shoulder press, triceps extension and bicep curl in order to complete our clients goal of one unassisted pull up.

• This goal was achieved, this was observed throughout the progression of our training weeks as the client continually increased the weights they were capable of lifting as well as in the post assessment by increasing their flexed arm hang.

2.To increase lower body strength by incorporating weighted lunges, straight dead lifts and weighted squats/squats with push press. By using these exercises muscle strength and endurance will be increased in turn increasing their wall sit score from an average to good rating (40-60 seconds)

• Based on the post-assessment this goal was not achieved however the client was capable of lifting more weight at the end of the 6-week training program than at the start. Muscular strength of the legs could have been increased but the assessment test measured more of the client muscular endurance of her lower limbs.

3.Increase core strength by doing exercises such as lower static hold, plank, plank walk out, ankle touches and leg raises. These exercises will help to improve her sit up score from good to excellent.

• The client was unable to attain the goal of becoming "excellent" for the abdominal strength test, however the client was capable of increasing the amount of reps completed in the 1 minute duration.

4.Increase balance by doing activities such toe touches, bosu ball stands, medicine ball catches and similar exercises which will lead to an improved score in the star balance test. We also want to work on equalizing stabilization between both legs. This can be accomplished by working on stabilization of the right leg and range of motion in the left leg.

• This goal was achieved, and was noted during most body weight and balance exercises. Improvements to the right side were also noted in the post-assessment results.

5. To maintain cardiovascular fitness level. This will be completed by doing cardiovascular fitness activities in our warm up such as running, cycling as well as completing high intensity plyometric workouts to work aerobic capacity while developing muscular endurance.

• The client improved her cardiovascular fitness level during the training program surpassing our intended goal for them.

6. To increase flexibility by incorporating a regular stretching routine into the warm up and cool down portions of the training sessions.

• This goal was achieved as the client increased her flexibility in the sit and reach test by moving to the 50th percentile.

• Please refer to comparison chart shown below.
